2011 moves on and so does BTPHG, albeit not quite so quickly. Where does the time go?
Our second AGM was held in April, chaired in style by Glyn Thomas, not bad for an up and coming youngster. And we have a committee meeting due in a couple of weeks.
The Group’s first Year Book was launched at the AGM and you should by now have received your copy. If not, use the Contact page to let me know.
The Police Service Record (PSR) project has also been launched and we look forward to receiving yours. Have a look at the PSR page to do it on line. In fact, have a browse around the site, there’s more new stuff on there including a new ‘Police History, Short Papers’ page with some good articles to read and there will be more to come.
Steve Beamon, who is managing the research of census returns project has turned up a huge amount of stuff.
All in all, not a bad half year!! Have a good summer.

2011 Update Stuff
The 2011 AGM is almost upon us – Tuesday 29th March at 1130 at Eddy’s Club, Birmingham. Sadly though, (or gleefully?) the Chairman is stuck in the shaky city of Christchurch, New Zealand. Membership Secretary, Glyn Thomas will be taking the chair. The first edition of the BTPHG Year Book will be distributed at the AGM with the remainder being posted out soon afterwards.
Other progress includes work being done on identifying railway and dock police officers from census records and the almost complete Police Service Record forms. Life-saving and other meritorious awards have now been added to the Honours, Decorations & Medals page on the web site.
Several people have volunteered to do some transcribing following my plea in the Retired Lines newsletter- good news all round.
This logo appears on the front cover of the Year Book and is based on a wall sculpture in the tiny town of Hokitika on the west coast of the South Island New Zealand. I’m sure the artist would be pleased to see it put to such good use. VH
